Given the elimination of BlockContext dependencies from the Cornerstone 
code base the situation has changed.  I think it will be possible for 
Merlin to duncamically build the required meta information based on the 
old-style Phoneix descriptors. I.e. no need to xfiles in the source. 
 I'm still digging - but if I can do it inside code under the Merlin or 
the assembly package its clearly a better solution.

Cheers, Steve.
